As the spread of English-taught Bachelors’ courses in Europe’s universities seems inexorable, some are concerned that it may inflate stupidity and alienate the general public from science. We talk to Annette de Groot, professor of psycholinguistics at the University of Amsterdam, about the implications of teaching and learning in English for European students. This podcast forms part of a series, produced and disseminated by ESNA Media, on the subject of higher education and science policy.
